Any traveler going to Dubai will be considered by the Philippine Government as a potential expense as many Filipinos plan to find work and get deported by the Philippine government. As great as the OFW’s are to the economy, they are not paying a penny for their government to send them home. It’s the taxpayers back home paying for their repatriation.

In the past 10 years I have made comitments, no, piled comitments also known as Faith Goals ^insert current year.
What I’ve found is that those commitments that I was most excited and felt fearless were most easily granted no matter how obscure the odds.

There you have it. Make it challenging and make it inspiring.

What further solidified commitment and resolve was addition the clarity of prayer and fasting at the first week of the year.

Hope: Cindy Jacob’s Word for the Philippines 2013

When I first heard that there were only 3 dead after the typhoon Yolanda. I felt shortchanged, so much hype.

Then the reality of the tragedy flooded and poured on, day after day. My heart goes to the people who lives in Leyte, Samar, Cebu, Northern Negros and Panay. There is just so much loss, suffering and pain. The situation reminded me of Israel’s war with its own: Benjamin.

“The people went to . . . where they sat before God until evening, raising their voices and weeping bitterly. Lord, God of Israel,” they cried, “why has this happened to Israel? Why should one tribe be missing from Israel today?”. Judges 19

After watching this video, hope is rising in my heart again because, I believe God is doing something new in the Philippines. It is also a time, of great shakening. We need to come together to not just pray but fast for our nation, because during this shakening, corruption, lawlessness and unrighteousness could rise up and triumph if we do not watch and pray.

Cindy Jacobs in her prophecy speaks hope and direction.

In March 2009, Cindy Jacobs spoke prophecies that were fulfilled already.

“The next two years, the Lord is showing me, are going to be extremely significant for the Philippines,” Jacobs said. “Either you’re gonna go on to greatness, it’s going to be that transformed nation, or I see that there’s going to be some troubled some times. So pray, pray, pray.”

She adds, “This is a time God is going to pull down the spirit of corruption, and God is going to release the spirit of truth and righteousness into this nation, because righteousness exalts a nation. The Lord has given many promises for the Philippines. I mean, the Philippines is going to be one of the wealthiest nations on the earth. The spirit of poverty will be broken.”

“We have this sense of destiny tonight.Jesus.The Lord would say to the Philippines” I am shaking everything that can be shaken so no man would glory in what I will do.For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and holiness in.And I am raising up firebrand.There is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippine that will prepare the way of the Lord even into the middle east,” says the Lord.

“Look and see what i will do in Mindanao,for I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine. I am coming to Mindanao”says the Lord,”as the God and Lord of hosts and I am going to start appearing”the Lord says”As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show myself to the Guerrilla leaders and I am going to come”says the Lord,”. And I am going to begin in the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest,the places where the Guerillas’ insurrection has been the strongest and I am ready to pour out a miracle anointing the Philippines such as the earth has never seen.For Indonesia they had a rushing mighty wind,but in the Philippines I will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall. And this will be a purging fire and I will say I will even visit as even in the days of God.Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation” says the Lord.

“I am going to visit the military.I am getting ready to come among the young military” and the Lord says, ”There’s going to be a revolution of righteousness that comes within the military. I am getting ready to dethrone everything that need to be dethroned.For even the bowls of heaven are full.”Oh I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and”I am going to spill out my glory”.

What is encouraging to see is that God is faithful to fulfill his Word in the Philippines. PRAY. God is omnipotent, but His nature is to use people and accomplish His work through people. God is a perfect gentleman. God wants to do something and He desires to do or give it when you pray.

“As prophets, it is always wise to go back and look at the words we have given in the past. We did this for the years 2011-12. Of course, let us reiterate, timing of the words should be understood more as a season than a calendar year. The words given are not fate or karma but can be changed subject to how God’s people respond.

2011: The Year of the Perfect Storm
In 2011, we prophesied the perfect storms. We have certainly had those. The word was given of greater earthquakes, floods, and severe weather patterns of all kinds.

These all happened – in February, a winter storm of historic proportions, according to the National Weather Service; a catastrophic tornado outbreak in April; hurricane Irene in August, the sixth costliest storm in U.S. history at $16 billion.

2012: The Year of Shakings

In looking at the word given for 2012, we saw that it was not only incredibly accurate, but still includes the season we are moving into with more shakings to come. We saw an intensifying of nature responding to our sin. The year broke U.S. heat records, bringing drought and the U.S. government declared it the second-worst in U.S. history for “extreme” weather such as hurricanes, droughts or floods, according to CNN. CNN also reported that hurricane Sandy caused an estimated $80 billion in damage to New York and New Jersey alone. For this reason, we are going to attach it to this Word of the Lord for 2013.

Me and a lot of my friends are corporately going to fast here in Bacolod City. Probably 300 of us, some from one-meal-days to liquid-and-water- only for 7 days.

Why? We have different answers. We have our reasons, some for health, but most of us are Fasting our Way to a Successful Year.

This is not about hitting yourself on the back like in April (Penitence – it’s much too early for that and we definitely have not lost our sense of time) I believe Fasting is a Time of connecting to a Higher Greater Being knowing that for Continue reading →

Bob Rogers told this story. “I used to be a wrestler. I learned about wrestling because I lived in the worst part of town. So I wrestled in a 95-pound-weight class. Then next year, I wrested at the 103 pound weight class, the next year I moved to 112 and the next year I have one state in a University in a 139 pound weight class. I went on and on and tried out for the Olympic Team. Then one year, as I was training I changed to 154-weight class. I gained some weight to make it to that weight.”

Wrestling in the 400 Pound Class

In that level, there were guys that weight at 175 pounds and they pulled down and competed on 154 pounds. It was a lot tougher at 154 so the next year I lost weight and Continue reading →

Fasting Your Way to Success. Does it really Work? (3rd and Final of 3 Parts)

I am speaking tonight a Prophetic Word for some people in this room. “You have a desire to serve God and when you’re around the fire you are very very hot. But when you go to the market place, you got areas of your life that you have some weaknesses. Now if you don’t learn how to add fasting as the disciplines in your life.

You’ll fall into sin. Your wife will leave you. There will be an adulterous situation that will take place.

“Every person take heed lest they fall.”

Fasting and the Word

There is an empowerment that comes when people Fast that doesn’t come in any other way. Fasting doesn’t take the place of reading the Bible. But the word of God take the place of Fasting. There is the Power of the Holy Ghost! But if you don’t give, I don’t care how much you Speak in Tongues. So the Holy Ghost doesn’t take the place of giving, and Continue reading →
